[happy halloween | austin texas photographer]

I hope you all enjoyed dressing up, passing out candy to neighboring kids, and beautiful weather. Most of all, I hope you remembered just how tender, magical, and precious childhood is.
Here’s our little dalmation.

My husband took this one:

He is the cutest kid in all the world. Okay, I’m biased.

[Interested in just a couple?]

I didn’t plan on doing Christmas mini-sessions this year, but since I’ve booked all but one session for a Christmas return, I’m wondering who might be interested in participating in an itty bitty session. It would be one location, one spot, and 2-3 pictures. The idea is that I’d schedule several itty bitty sessions in [...]

Today I carried my son to the car from the grocery store all bundled in his little pullover. He said “cold, cold, cold” all the way to the car. It’s that time of year, and I just love it! I just love adorable children all ready for Christmas, too! I can’t get over their little [...]

It’s time to get started on those senior pictures Austin high schools! And why be committed to the blasé pictures you get from school? This STUNNING gal is my senior model this year, and I could not be more excited! We went for an urban setting, and it was so much fun!

[a little princess | austin child photographer]

What an angel! After putting on her dress, she told her daddy that she was a princess. I have to agree! This little lady turned two the day before our session, and it was a real treat to photograph her milestone!

Kids do the most adorable things…

I just about died when she flashed this cute little [...]

[a little love in the fall | austin wedding photographer]

This is part one of this couple’s sneak peek! The wedding was held in Tucson at Hotel Congress downtown, and the entire vibe was so reflective of the couple’s style. They had an awesomely fun wedding party, which always makes the photography part a little more interesting.
We managed a couple groomsmen pictures before the wedding… [...]

[what's fall without the pumpkin farm?]

We headed to Marble Falls on Sunday for some pumpkin fun. FYI – Sweet Berry Farm’s website says 50 minutes from south Austin, and it’s more like 90 minutes. Aside from the surprise in driving time, we had a good time with good friends.
